I can reproduce in debootstrap chroot, but

after I moved copying bits in the prerm piuparts no longer fails; I
still don't understand exactly why dpkg does not create diverted copy
when the diversion is added and it doesn't restore it on removal, it
doesn't seem safe to me..
Anyway this is not a bug in piuparts nor in debsums, so this can be
closed.
Sorry for the noise and thanks for the hint
